Step into the eerie realm of our Horror blog, where spine-tingling tales and ghastly costume ideas await to haunt your darkest dreams!
On a scale of one to groovy, how excited are you for the premiere of Ash vs. Evil Dead on Starz this Halloween? In our eyes, Bruce Campbell is one of the reigning kings of horror, and his half-slapstick/half-serious portrayal of Ash in the Evil Dead movies is a staple of October viewing. We just know that the new TV series starring Bruce himself will be a perfect addition to the franchise canon. Armed with a boomstick, a chainsaw, and a gallon of fake blood, we set out to create a sexy, girl costume version of Ash, our hero.

Ten years ago, selfie wasn’t a word in our current vernacular. With time and technology updates, selfies have become prominent on social media and the internet in general. So, it’s only fitting that Snapchat’s most recent update changed the selfie game by adding lenses. For those of you who haven’t gotten the update yet, what are you waiting for?

Wouldn’t you like to wear an outfit featuring the very first zombie shown in Night of the Living Dead? Or maybe...

Indie games have become more and more popular in recent years, but no title took the gaming community by storm like Five Nights at Freddy’s. Released on August 8, 2014, the game was such a critical success that it spawned 3 sequels (plus and upcoming RPG spinoff made by the same developer), a movie, and hundreds of YouTube videos of “Let’s plays” where you literally watch someone play the game and see their reactions to the gameplay. In Five Nights at Freddy’s, you play as a security guard that has to last through the night shift without getting caught by the haunted animatronics. You have a limited supply of power to use for the mechanical doors that keep the bad guys out and each night gets more and more difficult. Some people enjoy the eerie animation and jump scares, while others find the game is truly terrifying.
Besides the jump scares, another thing that makes the game so scary is the characters themselves! The main villains are the animatronic band at the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza restaurant: Bonnie the bunny, Chica the chicken, and Freddy Fazbear. While each subsequent game in the franchise dives a little deeper into the story of what made these characters what they are, the simple story in the beginning is that they are left in “free-roam mode” during the night so they can wander the restaurant. They aren’t allowed to roam free during the day since an incident known as “The Bite of ‘87.” It’s also revealed that if they come across anything else moving, such as a lonely security guard, they will try to stuff them into one of the extra animatronic suits “where they belong.” Each member of the band has their own unique look, and while dressing like an animatronic may seem like a daunting task, we’re going to show you an easy way to do it with our Five Nights at Freddy’s DIY costumes!

“Don't hide in the closet! Run out of the house! Oh my gosh, would someone turn a stinkin' light on!?” If you're anything like us, not yelling at the TV screen when watching a scary movie is virtually impossible because horror movie characters are notorious for their bonehead decisions. A group of silly teenagers will purposely summon a demon then wonder why all their friends start turning up dead. That's the beauty of horror movies, though. There are lots of foolish mistakes made, resulting in the gruesome (but awesome) death scenes we love to watch. If you go gaga for gore and guts, take our quiz to find out how YOU would kick the bucket. Spoiler alert: no one is getting out...

There was a time when children’s horror wasn’t a mainstream concept. Kids were either forbidden from reading or watching horror, or they had to watch made-for-adults horror alongside their parents. But then R.L. Stine started writing Goosebumps, his wildly successful series of horror novellas for children. How successful? Over 350 million copies sold successful! Then came the Goosebumps television series, games, and other merchandise. And now there’s a feature film starring Jack Black. (Talk about finding a niche, R.L.! Can we call you R.L.?) We’re fans of horror of all kinds, so we made these minimalist posters based on some of our favorite Goosebumps books....
